DH arrived in London desperately needing a trim and got cleaned up nicely. Friendly barber. Clean shop.

One of the best haircuts I've ever had. Was visiting in town and decided to get a haircut on the last day. Michael was extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I walked away with one of the best haircuts I've ever had and very happy with the overall cut. I'll be disappointed that I can't get a quality cut this good back home.

So I got talking to Daniel while he was manning a stand at Yelp's Night in White yesterday, and he was selling me on Pall Mall Barbers. Unfortunately he was fully booked for that evening's free haircuts but said to email him, and he'd sort me out. I DID NOT do this. This is a review based on booking an appointment online, and then paying for it. They give freebies during the event and I'm all for it. I'm not going to ask for one just because I was late and missed out.
Booked for 2pm with Amanda (hadn't read Oliver M's review at the time, and happy I didn't). She was a little late, only five minutes or so but came over and asked if that was okay. It was a half hour slot but in the end I ended up being in the chair for 45 minutes, okay as there was no one after me, and it's easy to see how they could get a little backed up. We spent about 5-10 mins discussing my hair before she started cutting, so she understood what I was looking for, but I gave her a fair amount of freedom, always interested to see what someone new will do with my hair.
I came out looking good, and with a nice new variation on my usual short back and sides. Very happy and I think, as its only 2 mins walk from work, that I have a new local barber!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Mike M.Cleveland, United States01022 Feb 2020
One of the nicest experiences I had while in London. If I lived within 10 miles of PMBT, they would be my "go to" barbers. The staff was fun, talented and just generally really cool.
I loved it and literally will make PNBT part of my next trip to London. Who needs "the Tower of London" or "Buckingham Palace", when there is Pall Mall Barbers? :)
Oh yea, open a shop in Cleveland, Ohio, please.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - J K.Arlington, United States29812923 Oct 2018
Great trim by Rory. Maybe the best haircut I ever had. He took the time to listen to what I wanted and assessed my hair before starting (I have a double crown which makes hair cutting a challenge). Highly recommend

Was in London visiting. After waiting 20 minutes, they let me know their barber was a no show. The poor work ethic shows with the other barbers as well. If you're looking to chit chat or expert tea brewers, come here. If you're looking for a real hair cut, go somewhere else. Fades and haircuts were mediocre at best.

BEST SHAVE EVER!!! And very Friendly staff. I am a Barber / Stylist myself; my expectations and standards are set HIGHER than the average customer. LIBORIO performed my shave. He has Outstanding professionalism and gave me the smoothest shave I've EVER had. I'm visiting London from the USA, first time here. Pall Mall barbers- Trafalgar Square Went above and beyond my expectations. When I am back in London you can bet that I will be back here!!!!!

This is a great wee place tucked away on Whitcomb Street (about 30 seconds walk from Leicester Square). I've had my hair cut here four or five times now and it's great, plus not too expensive compared to some of the other more central places (bonus!).
The staff are always really friendly and professional and you can request a specific person if you fancy - I usually just take pot luck and have never been disappointed.
You can book appointments by phone or online, but if you fancy nipping round it's worth just calling to check as they can get busy... that said they're usually pretty flexible and accommodating when possible. A wet cut is £18.50, clippers and dry cut are around £13 pounds. There's a lot worse places to go when you've got a high barnet!Helpful 7Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Sam S.London28012 Mar 2014
The best barber in Central London, easily. I've never had a bad haircut here. The staff are all friendly, and the shop (although very small) has a great atmosphere.
Make sure you book in advance to avoid disappointment - I've seen them turn people away most times I've been there! Keep an eye out for some of the photos of celebrity punters on the walls...Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Qype User (wil48d…)London03026 Jul 2013
Interesting to see the range of reviews here.
I'm not sure what to make of the gap. My experience has been very positive. The
stylists are extremely sweet. They work quickly. They give good haircuts, and
they are reasonably priced.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
